    The repr() of BaseException (and all exceptions that don't override __repr__) with a single argument contains a redundant trailing comma:

    >>> BaseException('spam')
BaseException('spam',)

    This is just an artefact of the implementation.

    Proposed patch removes this comma.

    I think the trailing comma is slightly worse than redundant, as someone who has forgotten the trailing comma rule for calls can mistakenly read it as making the arg a tuple. So +1 on removing it.
